​Take Action: Sign our letter to Governor Newsom - Unite CA on Water without tunnels​

Dear Governor Newsom,

As local government leaders who represent millions of Californians, we urge you to redirect work and funding from the costly twin tunnels to other projects that unite the state rather than divide it, and to projects that provide new, local water supplies.

Ensuring that more of California's residents and businesses have access to economical, clean and reliable water should be your priority.  We request that you reject WaterFix as fiscally irresponsible, environmentally damaging, and divisive and focus instead on real water supply and reliability projects throughout our state, such as local recycling, storm water capture, conservation, and above or below ground storage.

Local projects will add water to the system and promote local jobs and local control. Current and potential future bond funds, along with other incentives, could fund many less controversial projects that will add water to the overall system and not cause harm to the Delta.

Given the significant levels of controversy and a growing litany of legal battles facing the project, it would be prudent for the State to re-evaluate the proposed WaterFix Project, in favor of other projects. This includes discretionary administrative decisions associated with WaterFix that this and future Administrations will face, including the State's role in a multi-billion-dollar bond sale to finance the project.

As Governor of California you have the responsibility of representing all 40 million Californians. A state as great as ours needs 21st century water solutions and leadership to match. We stand ready to support you in such efforts.

Sincerely,

Karen Mitchoff - Contra Costa County Supervisor
